Ruger impact max elite won't fire

Hi all
New to the site. I just recently decided to get more involved in airguns. I've had a couple simple Crosman pump pistols to plink with but decided I wanted something more powerful. I purchased a Ruger impact max elite. 22 caliber. Went to test it this past weekend and it doesn't fire. It cocks fine and I loaded a pellet but it wouldn't fire. The auto safety works but the trigger pulls back once the safety is off but nothing happens..I'm hoping someone on here knows a little about this trigger assembly and can help me figure out what's wrong. Any help is appreciated.

Sorry, I don't have much experience with that gun. Maybe someone can chime in to guide you to an appropriate sub-forum for information.

Welcome to GTA, Todd!
Regarding your gun issue, I'd suggest starting a thread in either the China/ Asia gate, or the general Air Gun Gate. Good luck!....links below:

You’ve come to the right place. Post a question on the Chinese gate and give us some details about your problem. I have some experience with the RIM and there are several others here who have modified their triggers who could probably diagnose your problem.

welcome Todd. Make a note to self that there is a pellet already loaded. This could prevent an accidental second pellet being loaded. You dont want two problems.

I wish Todd had created the post because the same thing happened to my new Impact Max Elite. The 1st time I went to fire it last night it failed to fire and then about the 10th shot it failed to fire 2x back to back but then fired without issue to the 25th shot. I think it is related to the auto safety or how I take it off of safe. I think I'll start a thread on the gun since the Impact Max Elite hasn't much written about it.
